We are experimenting with CMake presets for setting up the project in various ways. Because these can interact badly with tools, we do not yet have a CMakePresets.json
in the root project folder, instead requiring someone to add one themselves and include presets from here.
Once this is tested some more, we will enable by default. For now, create a CMakeUserPresets.json
in the project root and put this in it:
{ "version": 4, "cmakeMinimumRequired": { "major": 3, "minor": 23, "patch": 0 }, "include": [ "build_tools/cmake/presets/all.json" ] }
There are two variants of presets that we use:
new-{os}-{variant}
: Sets up a new dev directory as documented on the website with various further options. This is run from a source directory and will set up the generator and build into ../iree-build
.{variant}
: The raw variant options can be set at any time from a build directory with cmake --preset {variant} .
.Since the ‘new’ variants are OS specific, you must use the one appropriate for your operating system. One of “linux”, “macos”, “windows”.
cmake --preset new-{os}-dev
: Start a new dev build with CMake defaults for all project features.cmake --preset new-{os}-minimal
: Start a new dev build with all optional project features disabled. While not particularly useful, this lets selected features be enabled as needed.cmake --preset new-{os}-turbine
: Start a new dev build with all optional project features disabled except those needed to do Turbine development ( currently CPU backend, Torch input, and Python bindings).An existing build directory can have its CMake options redefined with these presets:
cmake . --preset minimal
: Disable all optional project features.cmake . --preset python-bindings
: Enable Python bindings in dev mode.cmake . --preset turbine
: Disable all optional project features except those needed for Turbine development on CPU.
